The woman was in a trance for a moment, then she looked atand asked, "Of course, there is. Do you want to
rent it?"
| nodded with a cold attitude. "Why don't you help them put their things in first? I'll be sure to pay you more."
She looked atand at Theo, then wore a smile on her face as she deftly packed up the things for the couple.
Amelia's mother looked atwith a reddened face. "Mrs. Grant, you've helpedenough. We really can't-"
"Don't worry and stay here. Ma'am. Don't think about anything else. Settle down for a period of time. Things will
get better."

so.

moved their things. Is there anything else that | can do?"
| smiled slightly and took out my purse from my bag.
Giving her smoney, | said mildly, "This should be enough for the couple to stay here for a period of time. I'll
also need your help to watch after them next time. Rest assured that you'll be paid accordingly." After taking the
money, the woman was grinning from ear to ear while showering us with compliments.
As | had given her all the cash in my purse, | looked at Theo and hinted at him silently.
Theo helplessly smiled and took out his wallet from his trouser pocket. He gave it to me.
| opened his wallet and pulled out all the cash from it. | gave it to Amelia's mother, saying, "Ma'am, take this
money and buy something to replenish your bodies. We'll cand visit you again soon. Givea call if you
need anything."
Amelia's mother refused. "I can't take your money anymore. You've helped us too much, and you even paid for
our rent. We can't accept any more of your money.
Please take it back, Mrs. Grant."
I shook my head. "You have to take the money, Ma'am. Amelia worked hard for the company when she was still
alive and made a lot of contributions. This is our duty. Besides, we can only go back with ease after you take the
money. You don't wish to see us constantly being worried about you, do you? From now on, thetwo of you will
depend on each other. Things will get better."
Seeing her tearful appearance, | did not know what else to say. | told her to take care of herself and other things

sigh.

If he had not mentioned it, | would have almost forgotten that we only had a bit of oatmeal for breakfast. Our
stomachs had been empty until now. Thinking about it now, | realized that | was already starving. | turned back
to look in the direction where Amelia's parents lived. They must be hungry too.
Theo knew about my worries and held my hand with a smile. "Don't worry, I've already asked someone to deliver
them food. Don't think about them right now and instead think of what we're going to eat."
| thought about it and said, "Let's just randomly look for a restaurant near our place. It's late, so let's not go
downtown."
Theo sighed and squeezed my palm lightly, saying helplessly, "Do you remember what we were supposed to be
doing today?"
